designed to resist the controlling load combinations involving
wind and seismic forces and are a critical component of the
overall building structure. Power-actuated fastening systems
are used for steel deck roof and floor diaphragm frame
attachments and shear wall sheathing attachments to cold-
formed steel framing members. Screw fasteners are also an
integral part of the lateral force resisting systems when used
as structural frame and sidelap connections in diaphragms,
as well as framing connections for cold-formed steel stud and
track wall components. The American Iron and Steel Institute

3.1.2 Benefits of Direct Fastening Systems

Power-actuated fastening systems are recognized as a Screw fastening systems are commonly used for the
safe, acceptable and cost effective method of making attachment to cold-formed steel members. Self-drilling
instantaneous fastenings into various construction base screws allow for direct attachment without the need for
materials such as concrete, steel and masonry. Power- additional equipment such as a drill bit or welding machine
actuated fastening technology uses either powder cartridges making screw fastening portable, fast and lightweight.
(blank cartridges) or compressed gas canisters. Without
A key benefit to using direct fastening systems is increased
the need for external power sources, it is portable, fast and
productivity for the end user due to the speed of making
lightweight allowing for reliable fastenings in difficult access

3.2.1.1.2 Depth of Penetration into Concrete
Generally, as the fastener penetration increases, so does the load capacity (1).
However, a penetration depth which is too shallow or too deep may cause an
increase in fastening failure (2).

lowest power regulation and cartridge and work up until tight

clamping is achieved. During installation of the fastener, the
plastic guidance washer may be removed completely, partially
or remain intact. Any of these scenarios would be considered
acceptable, provided the attached material is clamped tightly
to the base material and the specified embedment is achieved.
Installers should never “double-shoot” fastenings with

excessive nail head stand-off in order to drive them deeper.
This can create a safety hazard and break the bond or
sintering between the fastener shank and the base material.

1 Allowable loads were developed from testing the low-velocity fasteners with 16 gauge (Fy ≥ 33 ksi) steel track. A safety factor greater than or equal to 5.0 was
used in accordance with ICC-ES AC70. Steel track members not meeting the specification noted must be investigated in accordance with accepted design
criteria.
2 Allowable values are for fasteners installed in concrete having the designated compressive strength at the time of installation.
3 Spacing and edge distance constraints are as noted in Figure 1-4 at the top of this page.
4 Allowable shear load values are for loads applied perpendicular to the edge of the concrete.
6 Minimum edge distance of 2-1/4" cannot be decreased. Closer edge distances can result in edge breakout failure of the base material during installation.
As a result, fasteners are offset from the center line of the track.
7 SSMA track designation for 3-5/8" track is 362T 150-54 and for 6" track is 600T 150-54.

2 Guidelines based on fastener coating / material resistance to environmental corrosion (commonly called “rusting"). Evaluate site conditions which may affect
these guidelines, such as: corrosive agents other than those listed; expected service life; other (non environmental) types of corrosion etc.
3 In highly corrosive environments (such as direct exposure to chlorides with average temperatures above 86 °F (30 °C)) it is generally recommended that a Highly
Corrosive Resistant (HCR) Fastener be used such as Hilti HAS HCR Adhesive Anchor Rods. Contact Hilti Technical Support for more information.

3 Allowable load value is limited by recommended load for threaded stud. Reference Section 3.2.9.
4 X-FCM-M and X-FCM-R Fastening Systems resist shear by friction and are not suitable for explicit shear load designs (e.g. diaphragms). Depending on
surface characteristics, shear loads of up to 65 lb (0.3 kN) will not result in permanent deformation. Therefore, small unexpected shear loads can generally be
accommodated without damage.

Extra care must be taken at the endlap and corner lap
conditions where multiple layers of steel deck nest or interlock
on adjacent panels. It is particularly important that endlap
and corner lap conditions of two and four deck layers must
be snug and tight against one another and the supporting
steel frame in order for the fastening to be made as shown
in Figure 8. Tight endlap and corner lap requirements are
independent of the fastening type and contribute directly to
the performance of arc spot welds, screws, powder-actuated
fasteners, punches and crimps/clinches. If the steel deck
Figure 6: Hilti Deck Fastener Selection Gauge endlaps and corner laps are not tight, a proper fastening
cannot be made.
Steel deck installers must layout deck properly and mark
frame fastening lines in order to ensure that steel deck
panels are connected to the supporting steel frame. Marking
frame fastening lines is essential when attaching steel deck
to thin base steels (tII < 1/4"), including open web steel joists.
For all applications, the fasteners should be installed at least
3/8" (10 mm) from the edge or toe of the joist top chord or light
steel beam flange. Additionally, when installing into a bar joist
top chord (angle), the fasteners need to be installed at a distance
from the angle, bx ≤ 8 x tII. Reference Figure 7 for edge distance
and bx dimensions.

1 Tabulated diaphragm shear values are for attachment of steel deck to base steel thicknesses ranging from 3/16" to 3/8". For attachment to base steel
thicknesses less than 3/16", diaphragm shear values for the X-EDNK22 fasteners should be calculated in accordance with Section 3.5.1.8.
2 Tabulated ASD diaphragm shear loads are calculated with a safety factor (Ω) of 2.35 for wind loads. To calculate ASD values for load combinations involving
earthquake, multiply values in table by 2.35 and divide by a safety factor (Ω) of 2.50. Panel buckling has been checked.
3 At diaphragm perimeter, Hilti frame fasteners should be spaced at identical spacing as sidelap connectors.
4 Interpolation of diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors is allowed between span dimensions, sidelap spacings and deck gauge. Alternatively, use
calculations as discussed in Section 3.5.1.8 to determine diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors directly.
5 To convert from sidelap spacing (SS) to sidelaps per span (SPS), use the following formula: SPS=((span, ft) x 12)/(SS, in.). Round up to the next whole
sidelap connector.
6 For high tensile strength (fu > 65 ksi) 18 gauge steel deck, use S-SLC 02 M HWH. More information on Hilti Sidelap Connectors (SLC) can be found in
Section 3.5.4.
7 For diaphragm shear load values using Hilti #10 HWH screws, use the Hilti Profis DF Diaphragm software or contact Hilti at 877-749-6337 or deck@hilti.com.

1 Tabulated diaphragm shear values are for attachment of steel deck to a base steel thickness greater than or equal to 1/4".
2 Tabulated ASD diaphragm shear loads are calculated with a safety factor (Ω) of 2.35 for wind loads. To calculate ASD values for load combinations involving earthquake, multiply values in
table by 2.35 and divide by a safety factor (Ω) of 2.50. Panel buckling has been checked.
4 Interpolation of diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors is allowed between span dimensions, sidelap spacings and deck gauge. Alternatively, use calculations as discussed in Section
3.5.1.8 to determine diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors directly.
5 To convert from sidelap spacing (SS) to sidelaps per span (SPS), use the following formula: SPS=((span, ft) x 12)/(SS, in.). Round up to the next whole sidelap connector.
6 For 16 gauge steel deck or for high tensile strength (fu > 65 ksi) 18 gauge steel deck, use S-SLC 02 M HWH. More information on Hilti Sidelap Connectors (SLC) can be found in Section 3.5.4.

1 If the moisture content of Pressure-Treated Lumber is high (> 18%) or unknown, stainless steel fasteners are recommended. Select appropriate stainless steel
grade for your application.
2 Guidelines based on fastener coating /material resistance to environmental corrosion (commonly called rusting) and fastener hardening process/ resistance to
hydrogen assisted stress corrosion cracking (HASCC). Evaluate site conditions which may affect these guidelines, such as: corrosive agents other than those
listed; expected service life; other (non-environmental) types of corrosion, etc
3 In highly corrosive environments (such as direct exposure to chlorides with average temperatures above 86 °F (30 °C)) it is generally recommended that a Highly
Corrosive Resistant (HCR) fastener be used. Contact Hilti Technical Support at 877-749-6337 for more information.
4 Pressure treated lumber refers to lumber such as SBX/DOT, Zinc borated ACQ, CA-B, CBA-A treated lumber.
5 Most 400 series stainless steels, such as 410 stainless steel, 410 super-passivated stainless steel and 400 modified stainless steel are generally considered
susceptible to HASCC. Moreover, these grades of stainless steel are 18/0 – they contain chromium but no nickel which reduces corrosion resistance significantly
when compared to 18/8 grades (302, 304) or 18/8/2 grade (316).
6 The decision as to which fastener optimally meets the demands of a specific application is ultimately the judgment of the Engineer of Record or other responsible
person for the project.

1 Whether an application requires a depth gauge or torque clutch is the judgment of the person responsible for the project. If conditions are unknown or in doubt,
use a screwdriver that features either an adjustable torque clutch or a properly adjusted depth gauge.
2 All published screw fastening connection capacities were developed using corded or cordless screwdriver tools with adjustable torque clutches. Over-driving
a screw fastener can cause a connection failure in lighter gauge and lower strength steel base materials (the threads tapping the base material are stripped by
excessive torque) or a fastener failure in heavier gauge and higher strength steel base materials (the screw is damaged or sheared by excessive torque). This
type of damage is not always visually detectable. Regardless of the tool or its torque setting, test fastenings should always be performed to verify the
appropriate torque is being applied.

The importance of IBC compliant screws.

ICC-ES ESR-2196 provides IBC recognition of Hilti’s Self-Drilling Screw Fasteners. This recognition was based on a
comprehensive and rigorous independent evaluation of Hilti’s Self-Drilling Screw Fasteners to the latest IBC code
requirements in ICC-ES AC118 Acceptance Criteria for Self-Tapping Screw Fasteners, as well as the AISI S904 and
AISI S905 test standards.
AC118 provides the IBC code recognition and quality assurance for screw fasteners. ICC-ES ESR-2196 recognizes
many types of Hilti screws for the most common applications including CFS connections, gypsum to CFS, etc.
Specifically, ESR-2196 covers the HWH, PPH, PBH, PWH, PPCH, PFUCH and PFTH head style Hilti screws.
To ensure IBC compliance of screws on your next project, reference ESR-2196.
